Oskooi is a longtime "Survivor" fan and has tried out for the show more than 10 years in a row.
She describes herself as "competitive, clever, and quirky," and lists "traveling, exotic food, whistling champion, and mind games" as her hobbies.
Prior to Yahoo, Oskooi was a product manager at Google, where she led the design, launch, and growth of Google Calendar.
In a special twist for this season, contestants will be split into three tribes based on their occupations. Oskooi will be a part of the White Collar Masaya Tribe, made up of other business-oriented people.
There's also a Blue Collar Escameca Tribe, which includes a postal worker and hairdresser, as well as a No Collar Nagote Tribe, made up of "free-spirits who refuse to make or abide by rules."
The 18 castaways will be competing to survive on a beach in Nicaragua.
